標題: TRUE CRIME:HONG KONG CANCELLED
True Crime Hong Kong, the planned revival of Activision's open world crime action series, has been canceled by the publisher. The news of the cancellation hit a few hours ago on other gaming web sites and was confirmed by Activision Blizzard in their quarterly financial press release issued just a few minutes ago.
True Crime Hong Kong was first announced in December 2009 by the publisher as a revival of the series that it had started in the early 2000s. Developer United Front Studios was the team behind the new True Crime Hong Kong but the game itself had never been demoed to the press and Activision had only released a teaser trailer and some screenshots before today's announcement. There's no word yet on how much this will affect the developer in terms of layoffs.
Activision also announced that it would shut down its console-based Guitar Hero business as well. In its press release, the publisher states, "These decisions are based on the desire to focus on the greatest opportunities that the company currently has to create the world's best interactive entertainment experiences."
Update: During Activision Blizzard's quarterly conference call with investors, execs stated that they felt that True Crime Hong Hong would just not be good enough to compete against other open world action games.
